Sticky shafts
« on: July 01, 2007, 09:40:00 AM »
A friend gave me a dozen POC's to make up for him and they were taped together with masking tape. Now there is tape goo on all the shafts. I've removed this goo before with denatured alcohol but it was really a sticky nasty mess. Any better ideas? Would lacquer thinner be a better goo cutter?

Goo gone is another option worth trying.

Acetone or lacquer thinner are good for that. Don't use anything that will leave an oily film behind. That will raise heck with your finish.
